Speech by: Pat McFadden MP
Venue: Westminster Hall Debate
In this Westminster Hall debate on the future of the steel industry in Teesside, Pat McFadden talks about the three factors that served as the backdrop for Corus’s decision to mothball its Teesside plant: fall in demand, fall in price and the collapse of the off-take agreement to buy the steel produced there. He then sets out the Government’s response – a £60 million package of support to help the people of the area.
